>>1805094I live in a small town of about 5k. The grocery store is about 5 minutes away. The train station is less than 10 minutes away. Three trains per hour to the next city, which is about 10 minutes away. There, the train station is right smack dab in the city center which is mostly pedestrianized, and buses go everywhere else.
One train per hour connects to a fast train into the larger city, where my workplace is. Takes me just over an hour for about 45 km.
Trains run from like 5 in the morning to around midnight. Some night services on weekends.
I don't have a car, can't afford it bc poor. But I can get around with no problems. No problem in everyday life. Only times I feel I'd need a car is to move heavy things (like buying furniture).
